12) If you want to delete the number 0, use the <▲, ▼> buttons to locate the cursor on the character to be erased, then press the <Cal/del> button to delete.
7.1 Measurement mode
This mode is to determine the status of stationary batteries by measuring the impedance and voltage either in manual or automatic control.
1) If the <Power> key is turned on, it indicates that it is in the measuring mode as in Figure_ 17).
2) Connect the positive/negative (+/-) measurement cables to the terminals of its subject, or stationary battery. While the IBEX is calculating impedance and voltage values, it shows the calculation mode signs as in Figure_18).
3) When the calculation is internally completed, the measured values will be displayed on the LCD as in Figure_19).
This mode enables the input of a range of parameters for the IBEX setup or data storage while the device is still in operation, other than measuring mode.
Main menu consists of 6 menu icons and each menu icon has independent submenus
1) If you press the <MENU> button in the measuring mode, it will move on to the main menu screen of the setup mode.

2] You can adjust in a range from 0 to 10.
3] The closer the number is to 0, the brighter the screen and the closer the number is to 10, the dimmer it gets.
4] When the brightness level rises, the required power for LCD will increase, thereby consuming battery. In contrast, a lower brightness setting will increase battery life.
5] To set up, first use the < ◀ , ▶ > buttons to move the arrow to the value to be adjusted, (Figure_24)
6] Place the arrow button in a position where you want to adjust and press <ENT> then it will be selected and switch the arrow to a inverse image.
7] When the time setting is completed, press the <ESC> key to move on to the upper menu (UTILITY SETUP) or press the <MENU> key to exit to the measuring mode.
| 3) TEMP. SELECT |  |
